Youth on Course

Youth on Course gives juniors, ages 6-18, access to play golf for $5 or less at courses throughout the state.

The Texas Golf Association Foundation launched the Youth on Course program in the San Antonio area in 2020, and in 2021 expanded to include DFW and Austin. Today, the Youth on Course program is all over Texas giving juniors access to play golf for $5 or less at courses all over the state!

Youth on Course is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides youth with access to life-changing opportunities through golf. Members have the opportunity to participate in a variety of programs as juniors and be a part of an Alumni Network for those 19 and older. The Alumni Network offers opportunities for young adults to connect at complementary events, find jobs, and much more.
